The Political Economy of Communication by Vincent Mosco
This definitive, critical overview of the discipline explains in detail the analytical tools that political economy can apply to today′s increasingly global and technological information society. Vincent Mosco defines political economy by its focus on the relationship between the production, distribution and consumption of communication in historical and cultural context.
`The political economy approach to mass media and communications scholarship has been amongst the most productive and inventive fields of work in recent yearsVincent Mosco has performed a heroic and invaluable task in mapping its intellectual and institutional history. But this is more than a masterful synopsis, it is also an original contribution to which students and scholars alike will turn for both reference and stimulus for years to come′ - Professor Peter Golding, Loughborough University
`Clearly one of the most important books of the decade about the study of communications and where it is going. A volume of encyclopedic scope - it is scholarly and accessible, sympathetic yet honest. Mosco′s prodigious work about political economy is not only an unparalleled contribution, it will be one of its pillars′ - Professor Thomas Guback, University of Illinois
Vincent Mosco is Canada Research Chair in Communication and Society and Professor of Sociology at Queen′s University, Canada
